"Shams and delusions are esteemed for soundest truths,……" — Henry David Thoreau

"Shams and delusions are esteemed for soundest truths, while reality is fabulous. If men would steadily observe realities only, and not allow themselves to be deluded, life ... would be like a fairy tale and the Arabian Nights' Entertainments."

Henry David Thoreau
